No refund, or answers, from N.J. tax officials

I filed my New Jersey income tax return for the year 2012 on Feb. 21. I have a refund due of $755. Two months have elapsed, and I have yet to receive my refund.

On April 24, I called the New Jersey Department of the Treasury's hotline to inquire about the status of my refund. The representative informed me that my return has not yet been processed. She further told me she had no idea when it would be done.

I asked her why, after two months, my tax return had not been processed. She told me she had no idea.

I asked who in the Department of Taxation could explain why nothing in the way of processing my return has occurred in more than two months. She told me there is no one who could provide me with such information.

My impression was that the representative had no interest in trying to help me with my questions.

I believe it is outrageous the way that New Jersey taxpayers are being treated. The fact that my return has sat for more than two months without even being reviewed, much less processed and my refund returned to me, is totally unacceptable.

The state of New Jersey is benefiting from an interest-free loan from me and other taxpayers.
